The place has changed so much, they now have a rewards program and touch screen order kiosk. It looks a lot better but I do miss the arcade games they used to have. Inside the place is more vibrant and clean. Photos of menu items are astound the window. My parents wanted to come try it after so many years and we went as a family of 6 which they have traveled mainly for 4 adults. We ordered a variety of food items such as zucchini fries, chili cheese fries, pastrami sandwich with onion rings, fish and chips dinner, and ice cream. The staff were friendly and always available, since we can go to the ordering station to ask questions, we asked for picked jalapeños and carrots to go with our food. They gave us a bunch of them in bags. Everything was good, I would say that my favorite is still their zucchini fries and ranch, I love their ranch and glad they gave us a couple containers because I needed more. Definitely a great bite to grab, I think I prefer snacks from here like their huge portion of fries but their burgers are really good as well. read more

I used to live a few minutes away from Jim's, but only came here once many years ago, before my recent visit. My family was craving a breakfast burrito so I brought them here, because they serve breakfast items all day. I noticed they had a grill with open flames and thought their burgers must have that nice smoky charred taste, so I got a pastrami cheeseburger. The breakfast burritos were both good and filling, but there was nothing about it that stood out over some of the other burger spots around Monrovia. The pastrami cheeseburger unfortunately had no charred flavor at all. It didn't even have any grill marks, so I'm not sure what the open flame was reserved for. What tasted like thousand island dressing overpowered the beef and pastrami, so I mostly tasted the sweet sauce. Well, we got what we were craving, but I was left disappointed. That's just me expecting too much from a $11. burger, from a place that has the same name as me, and the word 'Burger' in its name. read more

Ordered breakfast steak burrito. Huge option but it was a burden eating it. Most of the meat is pure fat, like thick bacon fat. And the bacons in the burrito are not crispy but soft and mushy. The burrito only had meat, potato and eggs. I ordered salsa on the side. I'm not sure if I'm missing a few items in there but I'm not interested in finding out. Also ordered onion rings. Not good. Batter is not good and the actual onion slices are so thin. I found few of outer onion peels in the batter. Wouldn't be returning. read more

Growing up in Arcadia, Jim's has always been my go-to spot for burgers, and I'm glad it's still around. It's changed ownership a few times, and the menu has grown quite a bit over the years, but the food is still as good as I remember. This time around, I got these items: Pastrami Cheeseburger - Super loaded and quite large. Overall, it was really tasty, and the pastrami was nice and flavorful. (4.5/5) Avocado Cheeseburger - Pretty good. Just a simple cheeseburger with a slice of avocado inside. Nice and creamy, and overall a solid burger. (4/5) Fried Zucchini - Always a go-to whenever I come here. The small order is still a large portion, and they're always fresh. It comes with ranch, which is a win. (4.5/5) Overall, prices have gone up quite a bit compared to before, but the food is still good. It doesn't seem as busy as it was years ago, but I'm glad to see it's still kickin'. read more

Have not been here, in years. This was the spot my dad & mom would take us growing up. Crazy how much its changed over the years, burgers are still a 10 out 10, as well as the crispy fries, Only thing I can say is that my husband & I noticed Garlic Powder or garlic salt on the fries. Which throws off the flavor, I don't recall that ingridient used years ago on the fries it was either plain or salt on the fries thats the only downside to the fries, I like garlic powder just not on my fries. We also liked the portion on the small fries, great for the price. Prices are still decent, deff one of the best burgers & fries we had in a long time. Brings back childhood memories. read more

My cousin doesn't live far from this place. We needed to grab a quick bite before going to his house. My husband got the breakfast chorizo burrito and I got the burger combo. Everything was good. I loved my burger. The amount of fries they give you with the combo is a lot!! I loved how the breakfast burrito had potato in it. It was a huge burrito. If I'm ever in the area again. I would come here. read more

Old-school restaurant that serves pretty much anything you'd want for a quick, no-frills meal: burgers, sandwiches, fries, even super familiar Mexican fare like tacos and burritos. Prices are very reasonable, too. Jim's sits in a large strip mall off Duarte Road with plenty of parking. Lots of seating inside. Very roomy and clean. Ordered the following: - Double cheeseburger combo with fries and a soda - 6.5/10: unspectacular, but solid. Reminds me of the burgers at Carl's Jr. and Burger King - a classic style, no frills burger. Cooked fresh, large and filling. Fries are plenty enough for even two people. This is a solid, no nonsense place if you're hungry and on a budget. Check it out. read more

Stopped by Jim's Burger in Monrovia for a classic cheeseburger and fries, and it did not disappoint The cheeseburger was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and had that melty cheese pull we all love. The bun was soft but held everything together -- no messy collapse, thank goodness Fries were golden, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and paired perfectly with ketchup (and a little extra salt Service: Staff were friendly and efficient, made the whole quick-stop experience really easy. Parking: Plenty of parking nearby, so no stress when you're just popping in for a meal. Pro tip: Go for the cheeseburger combo -- fries + drink included, perfect for a casual, satisfying meal. Would definitely come back to try more menu items read more

Jim has been a staple ever since I was a kid it has been here however it can get really pricey for a mom and pop burger spot My advice would be to go during their happy hour or split meals. You really don't need that much food. I think it's really good. Service is quick but again it's pretty pricey that that's my only disappointment. read more

Have to write up my childhood burger joint. This place has not changed. I've lived behind this place since I was a baby. We would go and get an ice cream cone from here. Then this was the spot for lunch where we would always get the cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. It's an extremely mom and pop shop. Burgers give the vibes of the hat. If you get the chili cheese fries you gotta get ranch with that. I went recently and the owner and workers are still there even after I've graduated all these years later. I always suggest this place for people in that area. Been going since the 90s, why stop? read more

I was in the mood for a burger and they offer chili cheese burgers. I like to order them like how Tommy's makes them with onions, tomato, and pickles. I requested no lettuce which I feel does not belong in a chili cheese burger. The burger was pretty good and even tastes better when you are hungry. I was surprised how this place keeps busy as there was a constant flow of customers. read more

Jim's Burgers - Old school since 1988 - Burgers Near Me - Monrovia, California

Been coming here for over 20 years. The changed ownership not long ago and I gotta say they made some big improvements. Service is really good. Everyone is super friendly. Can't believe I haven't tried their tacos until now. Usually I just get a bacon avocado burger and zucchini fries which always hits the spot. But I gotta say, try some items from their 'South of the Border' menu. You won't be disappointed. The dine experience is also significantly better. With way more condiments on the table. The hot sauces are a great touch. Kinda miss how you can grab your own chilis, but you can still ask them for a bag which is actually plenty. Ain't no one really eating 20 chilis anymore.. I think. If you're a local, come more often. If you're just in the area and need a solid meal at a great ticket, come here. read more

Can see why locals like this place. Great food and good prices. The cheeseburger combo was $14. The zucchini fries are some of the best I had. $7 for a small and it's massive. The burger isn't fancy at all but it's a good classic burger. I can definitely see myself coming back to try other items or whenever I want a burger. read more

My go to local burger joint for zucchini fries, chili cheese fries, and a quick burger. You can call in an order, you can order online for pickup, or order in person. They even have vanilla soft serve which is huge and a fresh squeezed orange juice machine. This is definitely a neighborhood gem in Arcadia. read more

First-time customer here! The moment I walked into Jim's Burgers, I was warmly welcomed by the smile of a young man named Theo. He patiently guided me through the vast selection of items on the menu and kindly answered all of my questions. It was only right that I ordered Theo's favorite: Jim's Breakfast Burrito. I watched as he swiftly and deliberately entered in my order, wasting no time selecting the combinations of buttons on the screen. If I were to describe my experience at Jim's with one word, without a doubt it would be "reassurance." When I took a seat facing the counter, I saw other customers who ordered after me receive their food as I continued to wait. At first, I felt uneasy. Did they forget about my order? Just as I was ready to ask about the status of my breakfast burrito, the young soul called me up to ask about my choice of salsa. Next to him was my burrito, carefully wrapped in the finest parchment. I gave my final "Thank you's" and "Goodbye's" as I departed an experience I will never forget. It was an absolute honor being served by Theo. This gentleman has a very bright future ahead of him! Will definitely become a frequent customer here at Jim's! read more

Tried out Jim's for their breakfast burritos! We ordered a steak & egg burrito and a pastrami and egg burrito. Both were equally amazing and so filling!! We had the option of adding onions and cilantro in our burritos as well as hashbrowns! They add in salsa and that just makes the burritos so much more flavorful!! Will definitely be trying Jim's again for other options! read more

Jim's Burgers - Breakfast pastrami burrito - Burgers Near Me - Monrovia, California

Today was my second time visiting and my last. The first time I tried this place was also unsatisfactory but I wanted to give a second shot before leaving a review. I ordered 2 burritos on their website; 1 Jim's breakfast burrito and 1 carne asada combo burrito. The breakfast burrito tasted like it was cooked on a blacktop that was not properly cleaned therefore all ingredients tasted burnt and overpowering. For those ordering for the first time, the BF burritos do not come with onions, cilantro, and salsa. So if you order on their website, make sure to check mark that you want these ingredients. What is very confusing though is that the website has an option to remove the cilantro, onions, and salsa making some assume it would automatically with the order. The carne asada combo burrito DOES state that it includes beans, onions, cilantro, and salsa when ordering on their website. However I only got beans with my asada in the burrito. Very bland which could have been compensated by salsa on the side but I was only given 1 to share across both burritos. The meat was not bad and this burrito did not taste burnt like the other one I ordered. I'm not saying I am a big tipper but I did put 10% for this to-go order and asked for salsa on the side. If I get 1 salsa to share for 2 burritos then that's too cheap. The order came with free fries on their website when ordering more than $20 in your order. The fries which were soggy and not salted. I think this promotion is a great attraction for return customers but when considering that the food tasted burnt or bland, my order was not correct, and you provided 1 salsa for 2 burritos, I will not return for a 3rd visit unfortunately. read more

Hands down, best zucchini fries served hot and crispy with the perfect buttermilk ranch! I ordered the large portion, and it was massive--definitely great for sharing (or keeping all to yourself!). Plenty of seating inside. However, no large tables for larger parties. read more

First time here burgers are amazing onions rings delicious clean restaurant definitely will be back .Friendly customers service.

I do not understand how they have 4 stars they must not have good spots to eat over here. I came on my lunch break for work and order just a cheeseburger combo. This was the driest burger I've ever ate. The cafeteria burgers we used to eat back in school were better than this. I couldn't even finish it. The fries are soggy no flavor no salt. This place is nasty. read more

The food is good for the price. I've been going more often because it seems like there's been a management change and customer service was getting better...except for today. Came to pick up an order and staff was busy. Understandable. One worker brought some orders up to the front a couple times for customers to pick up. Not once did he address me even though the second time he came up I was the only person waiting at the pick-up section. Today's service was a real stinker. read more

This is our family's go-to spot when we need comfort food. The zucchini fries are well battered and fried to perfection.

The Theo fries were really scrumptious and delectable. The cashier named Theo was really good to me tonight, service impeccable and 10/10.

Solid place to grab some fast food. Huge portions, definitely enough to share. We came here maybe 20 minutes before they closed, but they had a good amount of people in there and customer service was friendly enough. We got the double bacon cheeseburger with some fries and a "small" order of onion rings. It was a massive amount of food and more than enough for 3 people to share (we weren't super hungry, but definitely overestimated how much food there was). Burger is filling, meat is juicy, didn't skimp out on the toppings. Solid fries that went great with ketchup. The onion rings are made with real onions but a bit bland and definitely needed some extra seasoning and a lot of ranch. Other than that not bad. read more

A cashier here was the greatest cashier I've ever met in my life . He was the kindest young soul who helped pick up food from the floor when it fell down. He got down on his hands and knees to do so.

I'm so glad this place is still here. Even after the shopping center renovated years ago. I have been coming here since I was a teenager. A classic American diner. People are friendly. The soft serve ice cream is still huge like how it used to be. The food is all American, slightly greasy as real burger joints should be! Sometimes it is more about the nostalgia! read more
